✨ Today’s Insight ✨

Embrace the zero-click email strategy

📰 TL;DR - SparkToro’s Amanda Natividad claims to get 40-44% open rates with this strategy… offering zero-click value. What’s zero-click content? Essentially, any content that’s completely digestible in its native format. This means the audience doesn’t have to click links to understand the email, article, or blog post – you’re just providing convenient value.

💡 Insight - Here’s how to build your zero-click email strategy:

1. Flesh out your premise - Find a POV & make it defensible. This should clearly outline your content in a way that anyone could understand your intent.

2. Make sure your email strategy serves a defined business goal - When this is well-defined, you can set a high bar for quality and better understand what you should be creating.

3. Dare to zero-click your own marketing - This is a hard habit to break! Don’t over-promote yourself in the content, otherwise you’ll risk losing readers’ interest.
